Temptation on Ocean Drive

Jennifer Probst — 2020

A heart-stirring novel of unrequited love and second chances by New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Probst. Young widow Bella Sunshine-Caldwell is focused only on raising her daughter and running the family business, Sunshine Bridal. There's no time for romance--especially with her fellow wedding planner, Gabe, whom she's growing increasingly attracted to. He's too enterprising to stay in Cape May for long, anyway. And too tall, dark, and handsome to be anything but a heartbreaker. Every woman in town has her sights on Gabe Garcia. The only woman he has eyes for doesn't seem interested. All he wants is to fall in love, be a father, and settle down. As he and Bella work together on a magical winter wedding, the distance between them closes, the nights grow warmer, and Bella might be seeing Gabe for who he really is: a man worth the effort. But all it takes is a single rumor for these two hearts' fragile love story to shatter. And now the happy ending Bella and Gabe hoped for is something they're going to have to fight for.

Second chances romance stories are always the sweetest. The unexpected can happen at any time. Just like Bella Sunshine.Bella Sunshine-Caldwell is a very young widower that she really has no time for romance especially when she is raising her young daughter. But that does not stop Gabe Garcia from falling in love with her. She definitely has no clue about it until she finally realizes she wants to start dating again. Everything starts to change when she works more with Gabe. Things that she did not appreciate until now. Never say never.Gabe Garcia is more than ready for Bella to notice him. He loves her so much that he wants her to take notice. But his reputation with the women is not the best since he is known to be a player but that’s in the past. He is ready to be in a relationship even if it is not with Bella.It’s going to take time and tugging for Bella to wake up that Gabe is perfect for her. But her redeeming herself for Gabe is such a big move that I love it. Always love when a heroine pulls the big moves when they are in the wrong.

I adore the Sunshine sisters, I have not pre-ordered a series in a long time and these books are a wonderful fast read. I love how in each book you get to know a new sister, and still get a glimpse in the others lives. The characters are really well written.
